Page switching method and device and terminal equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the technical field of terminal devices, and in particular, to a page switching method and apparatus, and a terminal device.

Background

A terminal device (such as an android mobile phone) mainly manages an application program through a desktop UI (User Interface) module, for example: the terminal equipment can classify and put the application icons of all the application programs into different pages for display according to the requirements of users. If the target application that the user needs to find is not the current page displayed in the display screen, the user needs to switch the multiple pages on the home screen.

Generally, there are two ways to switch pages, one way is that a user directly performs a leftward sliding operation or a rightward sliding operation on a home screen interface of a terminal device, and one page is switched and displayed on the home screen every time the operation is performed. Another way is for the user to perform gesture operations on the home screen interface of the terminal device, such as: the double fingers are slid close to the operation, so that the terminal device enters a home screen editing mode and displays a home screen editing interface. Wherein, under the main screen editing mode, all pages in the main screen all can carry out the shrink of certain degree and transversely arrange. At this time, the user may perform a leftward sliding operation or a rightward sliding operation on the home screen editing interface, and each time the operation is performed, the user may sequentially slide through a plurality of pages on the display screen of the terminal device according to the difference in the hands-off speed of the operation, and display the page at the time of the final stop on the display screen.

Along with the increase of the memory of the terminal equipment, the stored applications are gradually increased, and further, the number of the pages which are transversely arranged is greatly increased. By adopting the current page switching mode, when the page where the target application to be searched by the user is far away from the current page, the user needs to execute a plurality of sliding operations to switch to the page where the target application is located, so that the searching efficiency of the target application is low, and the user experience is influenced.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

The terminology used in the following examples is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in the specification of this application and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an", "the" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, such as "one or more", unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that in the following embodiments of the present application, "at least one", "one or more" means one, two or more. The term "and/or" is used to describe an association relationship that associates objects, meaning that three relationships may exist; for example, a and/or B, may represent: a alone, both A and B, and B alone, where A, B may be singular or plural. The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

Reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments," or the like, means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," or the like, in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but rather "one or more but not all embodiments" unless specifically stated otherwise. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including, but not limited to," unless expressly specified otherwise.

The terminal devices include mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPCs), handheld computers, netbooks, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), intelligent wearable devices, virtual reality devices, and the like. A desktop UI (User Interface) module in the terminal device is one of main program components in the terminal device system, and is mainly used for starting or managing an application program. In a terminal device running an Android system, the desktop UI module may be, for example, a launcher (Android system desktop launcher) component. The launcher component includes a home screen. The home screen may be composed of a Dock area and at least one page. The home screen is used to display one of the pages on the display screen, and the displayed page may be referred to as a current page, and other pages than the current page are not displayed on the display screen. The pages are used for displaying desktop elements, each page comprises at least one desktop element, and the desktop elements can comprise application icons corresponding to the application programs. Generally, the number of pages may be determined according to the total number of application icons, the number of application icons that can be displayed on a page, and personalized settings of a user, for example, the total number of application icons is 5, the number of application icons that can be displayed on a page is 12, and if 5 application icons are all set on one page, the number of pages may be only one; or, the total number of the application icons is 23, the number of the application icons that can be displayed on the page is 12, and if the user sets 12 of the application icons on one page and sets the other 11 icons on another page, the number of the pages can be two. When the number of the pages is multiple, if the application that the user needs to find is not on the current page, the user may perform a preset touch operation on the home screen interface, for example, a left-right sliding operation of a finger, so as to switch the display among the multiple pages on the home screen. The Dock area is a shortcut window for task display and switching, and is usually located at the lowermost part of the home screen interface, and when the display is switched among a plurality of pages on the home screen, the Dock area is always displayed on the home screen, and the position remains unchanged.

Taking a mobile phone as an example, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a home screen interface of a terminal device, as shown in fig. 1, the home screen interface includes a Dock area located at the lowest position, and a current page displayed in a full screen in a display screen. The Dock area may include common tasks such as a camera, an address book, a telephone, and information. The page boxes shown in dotted lines represent pages on the home screen that are not displayed in the display screen.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a current page switching performed on the home screen, and as shown in fig. 2, the terminal device enters the home screen editing mode in response to a gesture operation performed by the user on the home screen interface 10, and displays the home screen editing interface 20. In the home screen editing mode, all pages are reduced in a certain proportion and are transversely arranged. The home screen editing interface 20 displayed at this time includes a thumbnail of a current page displayed in its entirety, a thumbnail of a partially displayed preamble page located before and adjacent to the current page, a thumbnail of a partially displayed subsequent page located after and adjacent to the current page, and a toolbar for editing the home screen editing interface. Wherein, the user can modify main screen wall paper, add the window gadget, change page switching effect etc. through the toolbar, and then can be more accorded with individual use habit with what main screen interface set up. Among other things, the gesture operation performed by the user on home screen interface 10 may include a two-finger slide-close operation 11. The two-finger slide approach operation 11 is an operation in which the user touches the displayed interface with two fingers and slides toward the centers of the two fingers. In a specific implementation, the two-finger sliding approach operation 11 may be a sliding operation performed by two fingers of a single hand of the user, or may also be a sliding operation performed by two fingers of two hands of the user, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.

Next, the terminal device switches the page displayed in full in the home screen editing interface 20 from the current page 100 to the other page 200 in response to a gesture operation performed by the user on the home screen editing interface 20. The gesture operation performed by the user on the home screen editing interface 20 may be a leftward sliding operation 21 to switch to any page located after the current page, or may also be a rightward sliding operation to switch to any page located before the current page. Here, the leftward sliding operation 21 is an operation in which the user touches the displayed interface with a single finger and slides to the left.

Finally, the terminal device exits the home screen editing mode and returns to the home screen interface 10 in response to a gesture operation performed by the user on the home screen editing interface 20. At this time, the home screen interface 10 displays the switched page. The gesture operations performed by the user on the home screen editing interface 20 may include a two-finger swipe away operation 31, or a single-finger click operation performed in the blank. The two-finger slide away operation 31 is an operation in which the user touches the displayed interface with two fingers and slides the two fingers to both sides. In a specific implementation, the two-finger sliding away operation 31 may be a sliding operation performed by two fingers of a single hand of the user, or may be a sliding operation performed by two fingers of two hands of the user, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.

With the increase of the memory of the terminal equipment, the stored applications are gradually increased, and the number of pages is greatly increased. By adopting the page switching mode, when the page where the target application to be searched by the user is far away from the current page, the user needs to execute a plurality of sliding operations to switch to the page where the target application is located, so that the searching efficiency of the target application is low, and the user experience is influenced.

Through the scheme, the operation gesture is simple and easy to implement, the operation habits of the user can be well matched, and the user experience is favorably improved.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of generating a second user interface by a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application.

The second user interface is described below in conjunction with fig. 6.

It should be noted that the number of pages included in the home screen is at least one, and may be specifically determined according to the total number of application icons, the number of application icons that can be displayed on the page, and the personalized settings of the user. For example, the total number of the application icons is 5, the number of the application icons that can be displayed on the page is 12, and if the 5 application icons are all arranged on one page, the number of the pages can be only one; or, the total number of the application icons is 23, the number of the application icons that can be displayed on the page is 12, the user sets 12 of the application icons on one page, and sets the other 11 icons on another page, and then the number of the pages can be two.

The second user interface may have different implementations depending on the number of pages included in the home screen.

In one example, as shown in fig. 6, if the number of pages is less than or equal to three and the first user interface is a home screen editing interface, as shown in interface a, the second user interface 50 may include a thumbnail of the current page displayed in its entirety, and/or a thumbnail of a preceding page displayed in a portion adjacent to the current page and/or a thumbnail of a succeeding page displayed in a portion adjacent to the current page and subsequent to the current page, and a toolbar for editing the second user interface 50. The thumbnail of the current page, the thumbnail of the preamble page which is positioned in front of the current page and adjacent to the current page and/or the thumbnail of the subsequent page which is positioned behind the current page and adjacent to the current page are the same in size. The thumbnail of the current page is located in the center of the interface and is completely displayed, and the thumbnail of the preamble page located before and adjacent to the current page is located on one side (for example, the left side) of the thumbnail of the current page and is only partially displayed. Thumbnails for subsequent pages that follow and are adjacent to the current page are located on the other side (e.g., the right side) of the current page, for only a portion of the display. Illustratively, if the number of pages is two and the current page is the first page contained in the home screen, the second user interface includes a thumbnail of the current page, thumbnails of partially displayed subsequent pages that are located after and adjacent to the current page, and a toolbar.

In another example, as shown in fig. 6, if the number of pages is less than or equal to three and the first user interface is a home screen interface, as shown in interface B, the second user interface 50 may include a thumbnail of the current page displayed in its entirety, and/or a thumbnail of a preceding page displayed in a portion adjacent to the current page and preceding the current page, and/or a thumbnail of a succeeding page displayed in a portion adjacent to the current page and following the current page, and a Dock area located at the lowermost position. The thumbnail of the current page, the thumbnail of the preamble page which is positioned in front of the current page and adjacent to the current page and/or the thumbnail of the subsequent page which is positioned behind the current page and adjacent to the current page are the same in size. The thumbnail of the current page is located in the center of the interface and is completely displayed, and the thumbnail of the preamble page located before and adjacent to the current page is located on one side (for example, the left side) of the thumbnail of the current page and is only partially displayed. Thumbnails for subsequent pages that follow and are adjacent to the current page are located on the other side (e.g., the right side) of the current page, for only a portion of the display. Illustratively, if the number of pages is two and the current page is the first page contained in the home screen, the second user interface includes a thumbnail of the current page, thumbnails of partially displayed subsequent pages that are located after and adjacent to the current page, and a Dock area.

In yet another example, as shown in fig. 6, if the number of pages is greater than three and the first user interface is a home screen editing interface, referring to interface C, the second user interface 50 includes thumbnails of the current page displayed in its entirety, and thumbnails of a plurality of first pages distributed in the periphery of the thumbnails of the current page and displayed in part. The second user interface 50 may also include a toolbar for editing the second user interface 50. The first page is other pages except the current page in the multiple pages. The number of thumbnails of the first page distributed on the periphery of the thumbnails of the current page and partially displayed is at least three. The thumbnail of each first page is the same size as the thumbnail of the current page.

In yet another example, as shown in fig. 6, if the number of pages is greater than three and the first user interface is a home screen interface, as shown in interface D, the second user interface 50 includes thumbnails of the current page displayed in its entirety, and thumbnails of a plurality of first pages distributed in the periphery of the thumbnails of the current page and displayed in part. The second user interface 50 may also include a Dock section located lowermost. The first page is other pages except the current page in the multiple pages. The number of thumbnails of the first page distributed on the periphery of the thumbnails of the current page and partially displayed is at least three. The thumbnail of each first page is the same size as the thumbnail of the current page.

Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a second user interface provided in an embodiment of the present application. In the following, referring to fig. 7, taking the number of pages of the home screen as three as an example, a further description is made on an implementation manner of the second user interface when the number of pages of the home screen is less than or equal to three. For convenience of description, the three pages of the home screen will be referred to herein as page 1, page 2, and page 3, respectively, in sequence. Wherein, the page 2 is a current page of the home screen, the page 1 is a preamble page adjacent to the current page, and the page 3 is a subsequent page adjacent to the current page. As shown in fig. 7, the thumbnail obtained by scaling down the page 2 is located at the center of the interface. After the page 1 is reduced in the same proportion to obtain the thumbnail, the thumbnail of the page 1 is arranged on the left side of the thumbnail of the page 2, and only the part located in the display screen area is displayed. After the page 3 is reduced in the same proportion to obtain the thumbnail, the thumbnail of the page 3 is arranged on the right side of the thumbnail of the page 2, and only the part in the display screen area is displayed. It should be noted that, for the sake of clarity, page 1, page 2, and page 3 do not show specific interfaces, and only reference numbers are used instead. It should be further noted that, in fig. 7 provided in the embodiment of the present application, only the page area inside the display screen is visible to the user, and the page area outside the display screen is invisible to the user.

Fig. 8 is another schematic diagram of a second user interface provided in an embodiment of the present application. The implementation of the second user interface when the number of pages in the home screen is greater than three will be further described below with reference to fig. 8. As shown in fig. 8, the second user interface includes thumbnails of the current page displayed in its entirety and thumbnails of a plurality of first pages distributed on the periphery of the thumbnails of the current page and displayed in part. And in the second user interface, the thumbnail of the current page is positioned in the center of the interface. The thumbnails of the plurality of first pages are distributed in a ring shape on the periphery of the thumbnail of the current page. Wherein, the periphery of the thumbnail of the current page includes a plurality of annular areas, and a plurality of annular areas distribute from inside to outside in proper order, for example: the first region, the second region, the third region, the Nth region and the like are arranged from inside to outside in sequence. The first area is an annular area which is adjacent to the thumbnail of the current page and is positioned at the periphery of the current page. The second region is an annular region adjacent to and peripheral to the first region. The third region is an annular region adjacent to and peripheral to the second region. The Nth region is an annular region adjacent to the N-1 th region and located at the periphery of the N-1 th region. It should be noted that the total number of the ring-shaped areas is not fixed, and is specifically determined according to the number of pages and the number of pages that can be accommodated in each ring-shaped area. Therefore, in the second user interface, the arrangement of the pages is more compact, the efficiency of searching the target application by the user can be improved through peripheral vision, the user experience is improved, the transverse distance between each first page and the current page under the main screen can be converted into the radial distance between the annular region where the first page is located and the current page, and the distance between the first page and the current page can be greatly shortened.

Further, each annular region includes a plurality of sub-regions, each for displaying a thumbnail of one first page. The size of each sub-area is the same as the size of the thumbnail of the current page. Each sub-area in the first area is distributed annularly around the thumbnail of the current page; each sub-area in the second area is distributed annularly around the first area; each sub-area in the third area is distributed annularly around the second area; the sub-regions within the nth region are distributed annularly around the nth-1 region. It should be noted that the thumbnail of the current page is located in the center of the interface and is completely displayed, each sub-area in the first area is partially displayed, and each sub-area in the second (third, nth) area is not displayed.

Still further, as shown in FIG. 8, the second user interface includes a first page area and a second page area, each annular area including at least one first sub-area located in the first page area and at least one second sub-area located in the second page area. The second user interface may be divided in a variety of ways. In one implementation, as shown in FIG. 8, the second user interface may be divided equally into an upper half area and a lower half area. The upper half area is referred to as a first page area, and the lower half area is referred to as a second page area. The upper half of the thumbnail of the current page is located in the first page area and the lower half is located in the second page area. A part of the sub-area in the first (second, third and N) area is positioned in the first page area, and the other part of the sub-area is positioned in the second page area. Specifically, the number of first sub-areas located in the first page area in the first (second, third, and nth) areas may be the same as or different from the number of second sub-areas located in the second page area, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

In other implementation manners, the second user interface may be divided into a left half area and a right half area on average, or may be divided into a left upper half area and a right lower half area on average, or may be divided unevenly for the second user interface, that is, the number of sub-areas included in the first page area may be different from the number of sub-areas included in the second page area, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8, the number of the sub-regions in the first region is six, wherein the number of the first sub-regions in the first page region is three, and the number of the second sub-regions in the second page region is three. A first sub-area is arranged in parallel right above the thumbnail of the current page; a first sub-area is arranged on the left side of the thumbnail of the current page in parallel, and the lower half part of the first sub-area is adjacent to the upper half part of the thumbnail of the current page; a first sub-area is arranged on the right side of the thumbnail of the current page in parallel, and the lower half part of the first sub-area is adjacent to the upper half part of the thumbnail of the current page. A second sub-area is arranged in parallel under the thumbnail of the current page; a second sub-area is arranged on the left side of the thumbnail of the current page in parallel, and the upper half part of the second sub-area is adjacent to the lower half part of the thumbnail of the current page; a second sub-area is arranged in parallel on the right side of the thumbnail of the current page, and the upper half of the second sub-area is adjacent to the lower half of the thumbnail of the current page. The number of the sub-areas in the second area is twelve, wherein the number of the first sub-areas in the first page area is six, and the number of the second sub-areas in the second page area is six. One first sub-area is arranged right above the thumbnail of the current page in parallel; a first sub-area is arranged on the right left side of the thumbnail of the current page in parallel; a second sub-area is arranged in parallel under the thumbnail of the current page; a second sub-area is arranged right side of the thumbnail of the current page in parallel; the remaining eight sub-regions are evenly distributed between the four sub-regions. In this example, the thumbnail of the current page is centered in the interface and is fully displayed, the sub-regions within the first region are partially displayed, and the sub-regions within the second region are not displayed. In addition, if the size of the thumbnail of the current page is smaller, the first region may also include a greater number of sub-regions. For example, the first region includes eight sub-regions, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

The plurality of first pages may include at least one preceding page located before the current page and/or at least one following page located after the current page according to a relative positional relationship of each first page with the current page under the home screen. Thumbnails of at least one preamble page are distributed in at least one first sub-area in at least one annular area; thumbnails for at least one subsequent page are distributed in at least one second sub-region of the at least one annular region. In one implementation, the plurality of preamble pages may determine a particular distributed ring area based on the distance from the current page under the home screen and the number of first sub-areas in each ring area. The plurality of subsequent pages may determine a specific distributed ring area according to a distance from the current page under the home screen and the number of second sub-areas in each ring area. That is, the distance between the preamble pages and the current page distributed in the i-th ring area is smaller than the distance between the preamble pages and the current page distributed in the i +1 ring areas. The distance between the current page and the subsequent pages distributed in the ith annular area is smaller than the distance between the current page and the subsequent pages distributed in the i +1 annular areas. Wherein i is greater than or equal to 1, i +1 is less than or equal to N, N is the number of annular regions, the ith annular region and the (i + 1) th annular region are adjacent annular regions, and the (i + 1) th annular region is positioned at the outer side of the ith annular region.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8, the number of sub-regions in the first region is six, wherein the number of the first sub-regions is three, and the number of the second sub-regions is three. The number of sub-regions in the second region is twelve, wherein the number of first sub-regions is six and the number of second sub-regions is six. In this example, the preamble pages and the following pages are sorted in order of distance from the current page from near to far, the thumbnails of the first three preamble pages may be distributed in three first sub-regions within the first region, and the thumbnails of the fourth to ninth preamble pages may be distributed in six first sub-regions within the second region. The thumbnails of the first three subsequent pages may be distributed in three second sub-areas within the first area, and the thumbnails of the fourth to ninth subsequent pages may be distributed in six second sub-areas within the second area. It should be noted that the thumbnail of the current page is located in the center of the interface and is completely displayed, the thumbnails of the preceding pages and the thumbnails of the following pages distributed in each sub-area in the first area are partially displayed, and the thumbnails of the preceding pages and the thumbnails of the following pages distributed in each sub-area in the second (third, nth) area are not displayed.

Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating a specific arrangement of all pages in the second user interface when the number of pages in the home screen is greater than three according to the embodiment of the present application. The specific arrangement of all pages in the second user interface when the number of pages in the home screen is greater than three will be further described with reference to fig. 9. As shown in FIG. 9, in one implementation, when multiple preceding pages are distributed in the ith ring region, if i is odd, the multiple preceding pages are distributed clockwise according to the distance from far to near between the multiple preceding pages and if i is even, the multiple preceding pages are distributed counterclockwise according to the distance from far to near between the multiple preceding pages. When a plurality of subsequent pages are distributed in the ith annular area, if i is an odd number, the subsequent pages are distributed clockwise according to the sequence of the distance between the subsequent pages and the current page from near to far, and if i is an even number, the subsequent pages are distributed anticlockwise according to the sequence of the distance between the subsequent pages and the current page from near to far.

Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 9, the first region includes six sub-regions, specifically, three first sub-regions located in the first page region and three second sub-regions located in the second page region. The second area comprises twelve sub-areas, specifically comprises six first sub-areas located in the first page area and six second sub-areas located in the second page area. For ease of description, the pages of the home screen will be referred to herein as page 1, page 2, page 3, … …, page 11, and page 12, respectively, in sequence. In example a, page 5 is the current page of the home screen. Page 1, page 2, page 3, and page 4 are preceding pages before page 5, and page 2, page 3, and page 4 may be arranged clockwise in the first region in three first sub-regions of the first page region according to the order from far to near from the page 5. Page 1 may be arranged in a first sub-area of the first page area within the second area. Specifically, page 1 may be arranged in a first sub-area directly above page 2. Pages 6 to 12 are subsequent pages located after page 5, and according to the order of the intervals from near to far from page 5,

pages

6, 7 and 8 may be arranged clockwise in the first region and located in three second sub-regions of the second page region. Page 9, page 10, page 11, and page 12 may be arranged counterclockwise within the second area within four second sub-areas of the second page area. Where the page 9, which is the least spaced from the page 5, may be arranged in a second sub-area directly below the page 8. In example b, page 4 is the current page of the home screen. Page 1, page 2, and page 3 are preceding pages before page 4, and page 1, page 2, and page 3 may be arranged clockwise in the first region in three first sub-regions of the first page region according to the order from far to near from page 4. Since page 4 is the last page included in the home screen, pages that are not arranged in the three second subsections of the second page area within the first area. It should be noted that, for the sake of clarity, no specific interface is shown in each page in fig. 9, and only reference numbers are used instead.

By the scheme, the pre-sequence page and the post-sequence page are arranged more regularly, so that a user can search according to the rules when searching, and the searching efficiency is further improved.

In other implementations, when multiple preceding pages are distributed in the ith ring region, if i is an odd number, the multiple preceding pages are distributed counterclockwise according to the order from far to near according to the distance between the multiple preceding pages and the current page, and if i is an even number, the multiple preceding pages are distributed clockwise according to the order from far to near according to the distance between the multiple preceding pages and the current page. When a plurality of subsequent pages are distributed in the ith annular area, if i is an odd number, the plurality of subsequent pages are distributed anticlockwise according to the sequence of the distance between the subsequent pages and the current page from near to far, and if i is an even number, the plurality of subsequent pages are distributed clockwise according to the sequence of the distance between the subsequent pages and the current page from near to far. The plurality of preamble pages distributed in the ith annular region may also be randomly distributed in each first sub-region, and the plurality of subsequent pages distributed in the ith annular region may also be randomly distributed in each second sub-region, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Step S402: and in response to a second gesture operation performed by the user on the second user interface, determining a target page from the plurality of pages, and displaying a third user interface.

Specifically, the terminal device responds to a second gesture operation executed by the user on the second user interface, translates the second user interface to obtain a third user interface, and determines a completely displayed page in the third user interface as a target page.

Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating a user performing a second gesture operation on a second user interface according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 10, in the embodiment of the present application, the second gesture operation may include a single-finger sliding operation 61 performed by the user on the second user interface 50, and/or a single-finger clicking operation 71 performed by the user on the second user interface 50, and/or a first finger long-pressing operation and a second finger sliding operation 81 performed by the user on the second user interface 50 according to a preset track.

In a specific implementation, the single-finger sliding operation 61 performed by the user on the second user interface 50 may be an operation in which the user touches the second user interface 50 with one finger and slides to any side of the second user interface 50 (for example, left, right, up, down, left up, left down, right up, right down, etc.). The single-finger click operation 71 performed by the user on the second user interface 50 is an operation in which the user clicks at an arbitrary position on the second user interface 50 with one finger. The operation 81 performed by the user on the second user interface 50 by pressing the first finger long and sliding the second finger along the preset track may be performed by one or both fingers of the user, or may be performed by both fingers of the user, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application. In a specific implementation, the operation performed by the user with one finger and two fingers is an operation in which one finger of the user long presses on any application icon on the current page displayed on the second user interface 50, another finger of the same hand touches the second user interface 50, and slides linearly to any side of the second user interface 50 (for example, to the left, to the right, upwards, downwards, upwards to the left, downwards to the left, upwards to the right, downwards to the right, etc.), and after the sliding, the two fingers leave the display screen. The operation performed by the user with both fingers in both hands is an operation in which one finger of the user is long-pressed on any application icon on the current page displayed on the second user interface 50, the other finger of the other hand touches the second user interface 50, and slides straight to any side of the second user interface 50 (for example, left, right, up, down, left up, left down, right up, right down, etc.), and the two fingers leave the display screen after the sliding.

The following describes a third user interface.

In one example, if the number of pages of the home screen is less than or equal to three and the first user interface is a home screen editing interface, the third user interface may include a thumbnail of a target page that is displayed in its entirety, and/or a thumbnail of a preceding page that is displayed in a portion that is located before and adjacent to the target page, and/or a thumbnail of a succeeding page that is displayed in a portion that is located after and adjacent to the target page, and a toolbar for editing the third user interface. The thumbnail of the target page, the thumbnail of the preorder page which is positioned in front of the target page and adjacent to the target page, and the thumbnail of the subsequent page which is positioned behind the target page and adjacent to the target page are the same in size. The thumbnail of the target page is positioned in the center of the interface and is completely displayed, and the thumbnail of the preamble page positioned in front of the target page and adjacent to the target page is positioned on one side (such as the left side) of the target page and is only partially displayed. Thumbnails of subsequent pages that are located after and adjacent to the current page are located on the other side (e.g., right side) of the target page, for only partial display. Illustratively, if the number of pages is two and the current page displayed on the second user interface is the first page included in the home screen, the user performs a single-finger sliding operation on the second user interface, such as: and after the second user interface is touched by one finger and slides to the left side of the second user interface, the third user interface comprises a thumbnail of the target page, a thumbnail of the partially displayed current page and a toolbar. Wherein, the target page is the last page contained in the main screen.

In another example, if the number of pages of the home screen is less than or equal to three and the first user interface is the home screen interface, the third user interface may include a thumbnail of the target page that is displayed in its entirety, and/or a thumbnail of a preceding page that is displayed in a portion that is located before and adjacent to the target page, and/or a thumbnail of a succeeding page that is displayed in a portion that is located after and adjacent to the target page, and a Dock area that is located at the lowermost position. The thumbnail of the target page, the thumbnail of the preorder page which is positioned in front of the target page and adjacent to the target page, and the thumbnail of the subsequent page which is positioned behind the target page and adjacent to the target page are the same in size. The thumbnail of the target page is positioned in the center of the interface and is completely displayed, and the thumbnail of the preamble page positioned in front of the target page and adjacent to the target page is positioned on one side (such as the left side) of the target page and is only partially displayed. Thumbnails of subsequent pages that are located after and adjacent to the current page are located on the other side (e.g., right side) of the target page, for only partial display. The Dock area is located at the lowest part of the interface.

In yet another example, if the number of pages of the home screen is greater than three and the first user interface is a home screen editing interface, the third user interface may include thumbnails of the target page displayed in its entirety and thumbnails of a plurality of second pages distributed in the periphery of the thumbnails of the target page and displayed in part.

Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating that the terminal device generates a third user interface in response to a single-finger sliding operation performed by a user on the second user interface according to the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, the hand-off speed and the sliding direction of the single-finger sliding operation 61 may determine the target page displayed on the third user interface 60. Specifically, the faster the user slides away from the hand from the second user interface 50, the more pages are translated in the direction of the slide, and the further away the target page displayed on the third user interface 60 is from the current page displayed on the second user interface 50 below the home screen. The slower the user slides away from the hand from the second user interface 50, the fewer pages are translated in the direction of the slide, and the closer the target page displayed on the third user interface 60 is to the current page displayed on the second user interface 50 below the home screen.

In conjunction with fig. 11, the third user interface 60 will be further described when the number of pages in the home screen is greater than three, taking the number of pages in the home screen as 12 as an example. For ease of description, the pages of the home screen will be referred to herein as page 1, page 2, page 3, … …, page 11, and page 12, respectively, in sequence. Where page 5 is the current page of the home screen.

In one example, as shown in fig. 11, the single-finger sliding operation 61 performed by the user on the second user interface 50 may be: the user touches the second user interface 50 with one finger and slides to the upper left side of the second user interface 50 and then quickly leaves the hand. The terminal device quickly translates through the

pages

6 and 12 in the sliding direction and finally determines the page 12 as the target page, generating the third user interface 60. In another example, as shown in fig. 11, the single-finger sliding operation 61 performed by the user on the second user interface 50 may be: the user touches the second user interface 50 with one finger and slides to the upper right side of the second user interface 50 and then slowly leaves the hand. The terminal device slowly translates across the page 8 in the sliding direction and finally determines the page 8 as the target page, generating the third user interface 60. It should be noted that, for the sake of better clarity, fig. 11 does not show the specific layout of the second user interface 50 and the third user interface 60, and only shows the outline of the display screen and the number of each page on the interface for illustration.

Through the scheme, the user can slide to the page far away from the current page quickly, the gesture operation can be well matched with the conventional operation habits of the user, and the user experience is good.

Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram illustrating that the terminal device generates the third user interface in response to the single-finger click operation performed by the user on the second user interface according to the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, the position of the single-finger click operation 71 performed by the user on the second user interface 50 may determine the target page displayed on the third user interface 60. Wherein, in the third user interface 60 generated by the terminal device in response to the single-finger click operation 71 executed by the user on the second user interface 50, the target page is a page adjacent to the current page displayed in the second user interface 50. Referring to fig. 12, the third user interface 60 will be further described when the number of pages in the home screen is greater than three, taking the number of pages in the home screen as 12 as an example. For ease of description, the pages of the home screen will be referred to herein as page 1, page 2, page 3, … …, page 11, and page 12, respectively, in sequence. Where page 5 is the current page of the home screen.

In one example, as shown in fig. 12, the single-finger click operation 71 performed by the user on the second user interface 50 may be: the user clicks with one finger at a position directly above the page 5 on the second user interface 50. The terminal device determines the page 3 corresponding to the user click position as a target page, and translates the target page to the middle of the display screen for displaying, so as to generate a third user interface 60. It should be noted that, for the sake of better clarity, the specific layout of the second user interface 50 and the third user interface 60 is not shown in fig. 12, and only the outline of the display screen and the number of each page on the interface are shown for illustration.

Fig. 13 is another schematic diagram of the terminal device generating a third user interface in response to a single-finger click operation performed by a user on the second user interface according to the embodiment of the present application. In another example, as shown in fig. 13, the single-finger click operation 71 performed by the user on the second user interface 50 may be: the user clicks with one finger at a lower right position of the second user interface 50. The terminal device determines the lower right page corresponding to the user click position as the target page, and moves the target page to the middle of the display screen for display, so as to generate a third user interface 60. Wherein the page currently located in the upper left sub-area of the target page is the current page displayed on the second user interface 50.

By the scheme, the adjacent page of the current page can be positioned quickly, and the efficiency is higher.

Fig. 14 is a schematic diagram illustrating that the terminal device generates a third user interface in response to the first finger long-pressing and the second finger sliding along the preset trajectory performed by the user on the second user interface according to the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, the speed and direction of the second finger sliding on the second user interface 50 may determine the target page displayed on the third user interface 60. Specifically, the faster the user slides away from the hand from the second user interface 50, the more pages are translated in the direction of the slide, and the further away the target page displayed on the third user interface 60 is from the current page displayed on the second user interface 50 below the home screen. The slower the user slides away from the hand from the second user interface 50, the fewer pages are translated in the direction of the slide, and the closer the target page displayed on the third user interface 60 is to the current page displayed on the second user interface 50 below the home screen. After the second finger sliding operation leaves the hand, the terminal device determines the page when the page translation is stopped as the target page, and after the user presses the first finger of the target application icon for a long time to leave the hand, the target application icon is moved to the target page, and finally the third user interface 60 is generated. The target page comprises an original application icon and a moved target application icon which are displayed in the target page. The third user interface 60 will be further described below with reference to fig. 14, taking the number of pages of the home screen as 12 as an example, when the number of pages of the home screen is greater than three. For ease of description, the pages of the home screen will be referred to herein as page 1, page 2, page 3, … …, page 11, and page 12, respectively, in sequence. Where page 5 is the current page of the home screen. The operation 81 of the user performing the long pressing of the first finger and the sliding of the second finger along the preset track on the second user interface 50 may be: the first finger presses any application icon on the page 5 for a long time, the second finger touches the second user interface 50, the second user interface slides to the lower side of the second user interface 50, then the user slowly leaves the hand, and then the first finger of the application icon is pressed and leaves the hand. The terminal device slowly translates through the page 3 along the sliding direction, finally determines the page 3 as a target page, moves the application icon pressed by the first finger of the user into the page 3, and finally generates a third user interface 60. It should be noted that, for clarity, the specific layout of the second user interface 50 and the third user interface 60 is not shown in fig. 14, and only the outline of the display screen and the number of each page on the interface are shown for illustration.

Through the scheme, the target page can be focused, meanwhile, the application icons can be moved, the operation is more convenient, the functions are more flexible and changeable, and the operation efficiency of a user can be further improved.

It should be noted that, in step S402, in the process that the terminal device determines the target page from the multiple pages, the toolbar or Dock area may be hidden and redisplayed after determining the target page; the toolbar or Dock area can also be converted from the original form to any reduced form, such as a hover ball form, displayed at any position of the interface, and converted back to the original form for display after the target page is determined. Therefore, in the switching process of the page, the terminal equipment can hide or change the form of the toolbar or Dock area which is not high in relevance with the page, so that the interface is simpler and cleaner and is clear at a glance, and the user experience is favorably improved.

In addition, after the step S402 is executed and before the step S403 is executed, the page switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

and the terminal equipment responds to a fourth gesture operation executed by the user on the third user interface, opens the application in the target page or exchanges the sequence of the application icons in the target page.

Optionally, the fourth gesture operation includes, but is not limited to, a single-finger click operation performed by the user on the third user interface, a single-finger-length slide-after-application icon operation, and the like.

Step S403: and responding to a third gesture operation executed by the user on the third user interface, updating the current page in the first user interface to be a target page, and displaying the updated first user interface.

Wherein the updated first user interface may comprise a home screen interface of the terminal device, or a home screen editing interface.

Fig. 15 is a schematic diagram of a terminal device generating an updated first user interface in response to a third gesture operation performed by a user on a third user interface according to the embodiment of the present application. In one example, as shown in FIG. 15, if the first user interface is a home screen interface, the third gestural operation may include a three-finger swipe away operation 91 performed by the user at the third user interface 60, and/or a single-finger click operation (not shown) performed by the user at a blank space of the third user interface 60. Wherein the blank of the third user interface 60 indicates a position where no desktop element is set. The updated first user interface generated at this time is the home screen interface 10. At this time, the home screen interface 10 displays a target page. The home screen interface 10 may include, among other things, a lower most Dock region and a target page displayed full screen in the display screen, the target page including the moved target application icon. In another example, if the first user interface is a home screen editing interface, the third gestural operation may include a two-finger swipe away operation 31 performed by the user at the third user interface 60, and/or a single-finger click operation (not shown) performed by the user in the blank space of the third user interface 60. The updated first user interface generated at this time is the home screen editing interface 20. The home screen editing interface 20 may include, among other things, thumbnails of the target page, thumbnails of partially displayed preceding pages that precede and are adjacent to the target page, thumbnails of partially displayed succeeding pages that follow and are adjacent to the target page, and a toolbar for editing the home screen editing interface.

In the embodiment of the present application, the three-finger sliding away operation 91 is an operation in which the user touches the third user interface 60 with three fingers and slides around the three fingers. In a specific implementation, the three-finger sliding away operation 91 may be a sliding operation performed by three fingers of a single hand of the user, or may be a sliding operation performed by three fingers of two hands of the user, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application. The single-finger click operation performed by the user in the blank of the third user interface 60 is an operation in which the user clicks in the blank of the third user interface 60 with one finger. The third gesture operation is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the application, and the third gesture operation may be performed as long as the operation of displaying the fourth user interface in response to the terminal device is performed.

As shown in fig. 15, in this embodiment of the present application, if the updated first user interface is the home screen editing interface 20, the page switching method provided in this embodiment of the present application further includes:

and the terminal equipment responds to a fifth gesture operation executed by the user on the updated first user interface and displays a fourth user interface. The fifth gesture operation may include a two-finger swipe away operation 31 performed by the user at the updated first user interface (i.e., the home screen editing interface 20), or a single-finger click operation (not shown) performed by the user at a blank space at the updated first user interface. The fourth user interface generated at this time is the home screen interface 10. The home screen interface 10 may include, among other things, a Dock area located lowermost, and a target page displayed full screen in the display screen.

Through the scheme, the operation gesture is simple and easy to implement, the operation habit of the user can be well matched, and the user experience is favorably improved.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the application, in the second user interface, all the first pages are distributed around the current page instead of being distributed on two sides of the current page, even if the target page where the target application to be searched by the user is far away from the current page under the main screen, the distance between the target page and the current page under the second user interface can be shortened through the arrangement mode, and then the user can switch to the target page through a small amount of operation, so that the searching efficiency of the target application can be greatly improved, and the user experience is better.

The embodiments provided in the present application introduce various aspects of the page switching method provided in the present application from the perspective of the terminal device itself and the interaction between the terminal device and the user. It is understood that, in order to implement the above functions, the terminal device includes a hardware structure and/or a software module for performing each function. Those of skill in the art would readily appreciate that the various illustrative elements and algorithm steps described in connection with the embodiments disclosed herein may be implemented as hardware or combinations of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is performed as hardware or computer software drives hardware depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the solution. Skilled artisans may implement the described functionality in varying ways for each particular application, but such implementation decisions should not be interpreted as causing a departure from the scope of the present application.

Fig. 16 is a schematic structural diagram of a page switching apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the terminal device may implement the corresponding functions by the software means shown in fig. 16. As shown in fig. 16, the page switching device may include: a display module 1601, configured to display a second user interface in response to a first gesture operation performed by a user on a first user interface; wherein: the first user interface comprises a plurality of pages, and one of the pages is used as a current page to be displayed; the second user interface comprises a thumbnail of a completely displayed current page and thumbnails of a plurality of first pages which are distributed on the periphery of the thumbnail of the current page and are partially displayed, and the first pages are other pages except the current page in the plurality of pages; a determining module 1602, configured to determine a target page from the multiple pages in response to a second gesture operation performed by the user on the second user interface, and display a third user interface; wherein: the third user interface comprises a thumbnail of a completely displayed target page and thumbnails of a plurality of second pages which are distributed on the periphery of the thumbnail of the target page and are partially displayed, and the second pages are other pages except the target page in the plurality of pages; an updating module 1603, configured to update the current page in the first user interface to the target page in response to a third gesture operation performed by the user on the third user interface, and display the updated first user interface.

In one implementation, in the second user interface, thumbnails of the plurality of first pages are distributed in a ring shape on the periphery of the thumbnail of the current page. Therefore, a plurality of first pages are annularly arranged around the current page, so that the arrangement of the pages is more compact, the efficiency of searching the target application by the user is improved by peripheral vision, and the user experience is better.

In one implementation manner, in the second user interface, the periphery of the thumbnail of the current page includes a plurality of annular areas, the plurality of annular areas are sequentially distributed from inside to outside, and the thumbnails of the plurality of first pages are distributed in at least one annular area. Like this, a plurality of annular regions distribute from inside to outside in proper order, turn into the horizontal distance of each first page and current page under the main screen the radial distance of first page place annular region and current page, can greatly shorten the distance of first page and current page.

In one implementation, each annular region includes a plurality of sub-regions, each for displaying a thumbnail of one first page.

Therefore, the thumbnails of the preorder pages of the current page are distributed in the first sub-area, and the thumbnails of the subsequent pages of the current page are distributed in the second sub-area, so that the arrangement is more regular, the user does not need to try in all directions in the searching process, the target page can be quickly positioned, and the user experience is better.

In one implementation mode, the distance between the preamble pages distributed in the ith annular area and the current page is smaller than the distance between the preamble pages distributed in the i +1 annular areas and the current page; the distance between the current page and the subsequent pages distributed in the ith annular area is smaller than the distance between the current page and the subsequent pages distributed in the i +1 annular areas; wherein i is greater than or equal to 1, i +1 is less than or equal to N, N is the number of annular regions, the ith annular region and the (i + 1) th annular region are adjacent annular regions, and the (i + 1) th annular region is positioned at the outer side of the ith annular region. In this way, the pages which are closer to the current page in the home screen, that is, the pages which are more strongly related to the current page, are annularly arranged in the annular area which is closer to the current page in the second user interface, so that the user can switch to the page where the target application is located more quickly by using the relevance between the pages.

In one implementation, when multiple preceding pages are distributed in the ith annular region, if i is an odd number, the multiple preceding pages are distributed clockwise according to the distance between the multiple preceding pages and the current page, and if i is an even number, the multiple preceding pages are distributed counterclockwise according to the distance between the multiple preceding pages and the current page. Therefore, the preamble pages are arranged more regularly, so that a user can search according to the rules when searching, and the searching efficiency is further improved.

In one implementation, when a plurality of subsequent pages are distributed in the ith annular region, if i is an odd number, the subsequent pages are distributed clockwise according to the sequence from near to far from the current page, and if i is an even number, the subsequent pages are distributed anticlockwise according to the sequence from near to far from the current page. Therefore, the subsequent pages are arranged more regularly, so that the user can search according to the rules when searching, and the searching efficiency is further improved.

In an implementation manner, the determining module 1602 is specifically configured to, in response to a second gesture operation performed by a user on the second user interface, translate the second user interface to obtain a third user interface, and determine a completely displayed page in the third user interface as a target page. Therefore, the user can search through translation in various directions, and the display space of the terminal equipment can be fully utilized.

In one implementation, the first gesture operation includes: the method comprises the following steps that three-finger sliding and approaching operation is performed on a first user interface by a user, and/or double-finger sliding and approaching operation is performed on the first user interface by the user, and/or operation that a first finger is pressed for a long time and a second finger is pressed for a preset track is performed on the first user interface by the user. Therefore, the operation gesture is simple and easy to implement, the operation habit of the user can be well matched, and the user experience is favorably improved.
